Provision of Intermediate Care and Reablement Services
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The contracting authority, Medway Council, is engaging in an open tender procedure for the procurement of Intermediate Care and Reablement Services within the health and social care industry. This initiative is slated for delivery in the United Kingdom, specifically the UKJ41 region. The tender process is currently active, with the submission deadline set for 26th January 2026.
Key services include both home-based and bed-based intermediate care for hospital discharges, with additional complex care pathways considered. The contract value is projected at £42,670,000, and it holds a special 'light touch' regime status, indicating flexibility for service providers under statutory guidelines. Prospective service providers are encouraged to submit their tenders electronically in English by the specified deadline.
This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on health and social work services. Companies ranging from SMEs to VCSEs are considered suitable to bid, especially those with expertise in reablement and compliance with Care Quality Commission standards. This change to a unified service from previously separated lots opens avenues for businesses to expand their service portfolio and establish comprehensive care models.
The tender stipulates alignment with qualitative, price, and social value criteria, providing a competitive but rewarding procurement landscape for adept service providers. Opportunities for extension beyond the initial contract period further enhance business growth potential over several years.
Medway Council are reprocuring an Intermediate Care and Reablement Service. The service will include home-based intermediate care and reablement for Pathway 1 acute hospital discharges and Bed-based intermediate care and reablement for Pathway 2 acute hospital discharges as well as more complex care such as bariatric and non-weight bearing pathways, as one service. This is a change from the current service contract, which was procured in two separate lots, one for each pathway described above.
In delivering these services, the Service Provider is required to be fully compliant with the Care Quality Commissions (CQC) guidance, policies and protocols and thereafter comply with all statutory requirements as detailed in this specification. Providers should note the expectation of the ICRS is to deliver a reablement service within a period average of 28 days or less for pathway 1 and 28-42 days or less for pathway 2.
